Cayenne Turbo - Workshop manuals?

[piperboxster]

I have been thinking about buying a Cayenne Turbo for a few months, have been doing my research and thinking seriously about the purchase having owned various Porsche models for many years now.

One thing thats putting me off buying one is that for every other Porsche I have ever owned I have been able to buy a copy of the factory workshop manuals on CD or even the original manual set. But I understand the Cayenne is different as the manuals were never printed and only available online with a PIWIS tool.

My question is, has anyone got around this and is there anywhere I can get a copy of this manual on CD?

With every other Porsche I have owned the workshop manuals have been worth their weight in gold, as I like to get involved with the repairs to the car although I use a Porsche specialist for servicing to keep the record up to date. But for me, getting to work on the cars is part of the whole ownership experience. Even for tricky jobs where I might pass and let the specialist do it, I still like to be able to read about what the manual says about the job so I am informed.

Anyway, I hope someone can help as this is probably the only thing holding me back right now, I would love to get a Cayenne to add to the collection by Christmas

The Cayenne Workshop manuals were printed a few years ago but Porsche is not printing the manuals for the current models. The current manuals and updates are available thru a PIWIS and were available up thru the end of 2006 in POSES. I have POSES and I have the CD workshop manuals for the Cayenne, plus TSBs, OBDII manual, Diagnostic manual more. You need to check out the library err the librarian.

I guess I will be one of Santa's helpers this year. But don'wait that long....
